Anyway, the spectacular thing I forgot to mention when I posted about the new season and the first boat ride on our lake was the EAGLE! We have a number of bald eagles who nest on our lake and quite a few times a year we are blessed by a sighting.
During the first summer boat ride, we saw a mature bald eagle in one of our favorite coves just as she was about to land near the top of a large tree. Perched among the dense green leaves, there she was with her white head gleaming in the late afternoon sunlight. After a few moments she gracefully took flight in ever widening circles above the treetops, the sun glinting off those brilliant white feathers on her head and tail.
Each time I'm able to see one of these glorious birds I'm convinced that God is speaking to me in our own personal love language. He knows how much I adore the rare beauty of these creatures and how it draws me close to Him in gratefulness and in awe of his creativity.
To receive such gifts from our Creator - gifts that transcend normal everyday joys - gifts that erase (even if momentarily) worries, fears, doubts and pain - is to be loved beyond measure. It is truly a Measure of Grace.
Be love and be blessed,
